Post Interview Reflection

-

I felt like the interview went well overall. I felt prepared and looked at an AOTA article about possible questions that interviewers may ask. I made sure to practice with a friend so I felt more confident. I think that the interview was not as serious as I expected. I was surprised that she started off so casually and just asked me to tell her about myself. That question caught me a little off guard and I had to think of an answer on the spot, but I think it went well. If I could go through this process again, I would be more confident sounding. The interviewer told me that I did a great job with eye contact and professional answers, but needed to seem more confident. I learned that it is important to prepare and hold good eye contact while answering questions. I also learned that body language is very important during an interview and it is important to have good positive non-verbal body language as well as good answers.

Sex is an important occupation, and education on this with clients with sexual problems can make them feel normal. For women, we should educate on not waiting for a biological drive at the start to engage. For men, we should educate on being less of a perfectionist and more open to different se

Self Portrait of a Leader

-
I thought it was interesting seeing my self portrait of a leader before and after. Last year I chose a square face, signifying that leadership stems from nature over nurture. This year I chose a triangle face, signifying that leadership is an inborn trait. I think that my views have changed because some people have personality types that make them natural born leaders more easily than others. That was the only major change in my portrait. I still believe that OTs are natural born leaders. One more thing that I changed was glasses on my portrait, signifying that I believe I have had more leadership roles than other people my age. I may not have the most leadership roles in school, but compared to my peers that are not in OT school or did not go to grad school at all, I have had many more. OT school has broadened my horizons and gave me many opportunities for networking and leadership opportunities. I drew a big smile on both of my drawings, because I can think of many people who have be
